British Virgin Islands 2014 Eiffel Tower Dollar BU

This Eiffel Tower shaped coin, honors the 125th anniversary of the completion of the Parisian iron lattice tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance to the World's Fair, the tower had a permit to stand for just 20 years but still remains. Created by the esteemed Pobjoy mint for the British Virgin Islands, the dollar's engraving expertly highlights the tower's intricate girders. This affordable commemorative is minted in nickel silver, an alloy with a silvery appearance, but no actual silver.
